Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get a frustrating project accomplished in Outlook 2003 & 2007.
I need to disable the option in a new email to request delivery or read
receipts. I've been working on this project off and on for nearly two months
without a clear solution.
If it can be accomplished by a registry setting or disabling of a control by
ID and then implementing in a group policy, that's fine.
I've used a nifty little tool called Outlook Spy to find the control id (35
if I'm not mistaken), but it will not disappear when I use a group policy to
disable it (I have installed the Outlook Admin Templates).
I can easily disable the option to always request delivery/read receipts in
Tools | Options | Email Options because that is a predefined option in group
policy, but a *new* email always give the option to request receipts.

Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?

Thanks!

Are you using exchange or windows smtp? if so, you could use an event sink
to remove them. otherwise, the global setting is in the registry but the
one-off setting is not.

Diane,

We are using the standard SMTP that IIS installs when setting up exchange. I
did a little bit of research on those event sinks, and that seems like a
possible solution albeit a difficult one for me who has never written any VB
code.
And I gather from your reply that there is no way to disable the interface
in Outlook to not give delivery/read receipts when they create a new email,
right?

Thanks for your help.
